Delayed Insurance Claim

Delaying the payment of your insurance claim is more than just a mere annoyance. Your insurance carrier should process and pay all valid claims in a timely manner. The consequences of delaying your valid claims often cause the inability to repair your property and other inconveniences. Insurance laws prescribe set timelines for the payments of your claims and an insurance carrier who runs afoul of the law could be found to be acting in bad faith.

Insurers use various tactics to try to shift the delay of the payment to you. Among other tactics to cause delay in paying your claims insurers often; ask for unnecessary documentation before processing a claim, fail to provide explanations for the delay hoping that you will not question the late payment, state they are still investigating the claim when there is no good faith reasonable basis for doing so.

Although the carrier might ultimately pay the claim in full the delay gives them the benefit of the money for a longer period of time. This allows them to benefit from holding the money for a little longer by earning interest and putting off the need to report the payment for an extended period of time. Insurance companies count on you to be happy that you finally received the payment and therefore not exercise any rights you might have in asserting claims for the late payment.

If the insurance company is delaying the payment of your claim they must have good faith reasonable basis for doing so. If the company is found to have unreasonably delayed the payment of your claim it is possible that Bad Faith damages could be awarded. The delay of the payment of your insurance claim has severe implications and you need an experienced insurance attorney to help counsel you through the claims and litigation process.
